Weekends at the cottage are one of the most cherished traditions of Ontario summers. Since 1902, when it opened as a summer hotel, Gordon Bay Cottage has welcomed travellers drawn to the beauty and spirit of cottage country. More than a century later, its historic charm continues to set the scene for days that unfold at their own pace: plunging off the dock, puzzles on the porch, meals shared together, and evenings spent under the stars.
The space
Surrounded by towering pines, Gordon Bay Cottage puts the outdoors within arm’s reach. Forget the schedule—sleep in, stay out late, or make the day up as you go. Its distinctive silhouette and lake views have drawn plenty of attention this summer, but they are only part of what makes the property remarkable. The original screened porch is the perfect backdrop for long dinners and even longer games of cards, and with no neighbours in sight, the secluded setting gives you the freedom to spread out, settle in, and enjoy the cottage your way.
• Lake views peek through the trees from nearly every room, framed by the cottage’s original windows.
• Keep an eye out for local wildlife, from loons calling across the lake to chipmunks darting through the trees, alongside the occasional acorn.
• Follow the granite steps to the private dock for a crisp morning dip or a paddleboard adventure.
• The 800-square-foot screened porch is made for taking in lake views, morning yoga, afternoon games, and everything in between.
• As the sun sets, gather around the living room fireplace for a cozy night in.
• With little surrounding light to compete with, the clear Muskoka sky offers spectacular views of the stars after dark.
• Wi-Fi is available for staying connected when needed, though the cottage naturally draws attention to the moments that unfold beyond the screen.
• For adventure seekers, the open waters can be explored by canoe, kayak, and paddleboard.
• Just a short drive away, the nearby town of Port Carling offers a taste of Muskoka charm through local restaurants, coffee shops, and waterfront views.
